This book has basically every imaginable TW on it EXCEPT for sexual assault, but even that is briefly touched on. Benji has trauma from assault, but only from physical/emotional abuse, not SA.errie's review against another edition

from just reading the blurb, i expected a fanfic-y depiction of queer rebellion in the post-apocalypse. however this was full of nuance, spiritual exploration, and of course, found family. imperfect people, in a ducked up world, making the most of what they have. expressions of queer rage, insecurity, and beauty.
quote from the author: “if i wanted to write authentically about myself, i had no choice but to write about a trans boy turning into a monster.” like yeah
also i HAVE to mention.
soooo many cw tags on this one so i’ll highlight the biggest: VOMIT, GORE, GUN VIOLENCE.

I found it to be well-written and while I HATED Nick at some points (for his actions, not how the character was made),
